"The elephant walks, but the ant carries the burden. The powerful are weak, and the weak are powerful."
"The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light."
"If you don't find your soul in the world, look for it in words."
"He is the true Guru who can reveal the form of the Formless to the vision of the disciple."
About Kabir (c. 1440-1518)
Indian mystic poet whose verses (preserved in the Sikh Guru Granth Sahib and the Hindu Bhakti tradition) attacked both Hindu and Islamic orthodoxy. Closely associated with Guru Nanak (founder of Sikhism, who incorporated Kabir's verses). For an intellectual contrast, see Brahmanical priesthood, the ritualistic Hindu establishment of his era — Kabir's poetry is the founding text of bhakti devotional rebellion against ritualistic Hinduism — his verses ridicule caste, ritual purity, and priestly mediation as religious theatre.
